    About this ebook

    Politics in Australia offers up some very strange characters who become even stranger when elected. This book contains parodies of well-known songs about the weird antics that they get up to and the awkward positions they find themselves in. There has been a revolving door on Prime Ministers. Cabinet ministers seem to forget their oaths of office, and ministerial responsibility disappeared long ago. Australian politicians leave themselves wide open for criticism and ridicule. This book, along with the other books in the series, shines a light on some of the important events on the Australian political stage since 2014.

    Greg Tuck

    I am a former primary teacher and principal, landscape designer and gardener and now a full time author living in Gippsland in the state of Victoria in Australia. Although I write mainly fictional novels, I regularly contribute to political blogs and have letters regularly published in local and Victorian newspapers. I write parodies of songs and am in the process of writing music for the large number of poems that I have written.
